Long Context Compaction: The Highest-Lever Strategy for AI Agents
menhguin · x · 2026-08-02
A well-designed compaction prompting flow can easily bridge a several orders of magnitude gap in raw model capabilities. For high-value, multi-hour agentic tasks, how labs handle long context compaction and training is a small process that massively dictates performance, with major labs differing significantly in their approaches.
